He already has it, he has app_fax loaded by default (by whatever 
Asterisk packages he is using, since 1.6.2.9-2 is not an official 
Asterisk version number).

Oguzhan: Your Asterisk installation already has SendFAX and ReceiveFAX 
applications (based on Steve's excellent spandsp library) installed, and 
you can use them right now. If you want to try Digium's Fax For Asterisk 
modules, you'll have to add "noload => app_fax.so" to your 
/etc/asterisk/modules.conf file, so that you don't have two modules 
trying to provide the same SendFAX/ReceiveFAX applications.
